The Days of Being Coveted by the Sworn Enemy

Coming next, a new story with a preview: After I Picked Up a Handsome Ghost Emperor, His Daoist Heart Shattered [Mutual healing | Fated to meet | Size difference | Much, much older top] Adorable, old-fashioned Daoist × gloomy, violent Nether Emperor Delicate innocent × thousand-year-old evil ghost Song Yunjie was a weak, forgettable nobody in his sect. Born with a poor spiritual root, he was also especially timid. On his very first day out hunting ghosts after his fellow disciples kicked him down the mountain, he was frightened unconscious by a wandering spirit, then picked up by a handsome young gentleman. The handsome gentleman was good-looking, but had lost his seven souls. He was a little odd-tempered, and always looked at Song Yunjie with a deep, shadowy gaze... But a life-saving favor had to be repaid. To repay the handsome gentleman, Song Yunjie agreed to help him find his seven souls. Song Yunjie was timid by nature and especially afraid of ghosts, yet he also had a constitution that attracted them. Once night fell, ghosts harassed him one after another. Terrified out of his wits, he burrowed into the handsome gentleman's arms without a second thought. The gentleman would keep a cold face as he drove the ghosts away, then soothe Song Yunjie to sleep. No one in the world had ever treated him with such intimacy. Song Yunjie thought the handsome gentleman was a wonderful person! The only problem was that the handsome gentleman was a little clingy. He followed Song Yunjie everywhere, constantly pulling him into an embrace or sniffing him, and always saying strange things... It was as if he wanted to eat him! But as the handsome gentleman's scattered soul fragments gradually returned to him, Song Yunjie noticed that the man's sinister aura grew stronger, and his gaze filled with greed and possessiveness. Handsome gentleman: “Cultivate with me through dual cultivation, and I'll help you improve your cultivation.” What Song Yunjie heard: %@＃*β... improve my cultivation. What a deal! Later, when the sect attacked them and the handsome gentleman's identity as the Nether Emperor was exposed, Song Yunjie finally learned that he was just a tonic the man had kept by his side. He really did want to eat him! Song Yunjie, his feelings betrayed, turned to run, only for the Nether Emperor to seize him firmly by the waist. Fu Xuanheng: “Why are you running? Don't you want to cultivate together anymore?” Song Yunjie: I don't understand. “D-don't eat me.” Fu Xuanheng: What's that little mouth going on about? I want to suck on it. Song Yunjie still managed to run away later. From then on, the thousand-year-old Nether Emperor had one new taboo... Synopsis (complete): [Spoiled, haughty young noble × cold-faced, devoted heir to a marquis's household] [Spoiled bottom who doesn't realize he's in love × cold, aching top who loves him to the bone] A Daoist predicted at birth that Chu Lanqing had a weak fate and would die young, so his family doted on him from childhood. Raised in luxury and pampered until he was seventeen, the greatest hardship he'd ever endured was lotus-seed porridge. His smooth-sailing life had only one exception: his nemesis, Gu Huaizhou. After more than ten years of rivalry, his tireless efforts finally led to the two of them ending up in bed together. To his shame, he discovered that he was the one who'd been taken! It was supposed to be a one-time accident, but his nemesis kept insisting that he be given a proper status. Well, a person had to take responsibility for what he did, especially when it had been his fault to begin with. So Chu Lanqing steeled himself, gritted his teeth, clutched his aching lower back, and agreed to Gu Huaizhou's demand. He thought he was doing it out of a sense of responsibility. But when he mistakenly thought Gu Huaizhou loved someone else, he immediately threw up blood. Only then did he realize that over more than ten years together, he had come to depend on Gu Huaizhou, and his heart had long since fallen for him. Once they were together, Chu Lanqing was spoiled rotten. Meanwhile, to marry him openly and honorably, Gu Huaizhou volunteered to go to war, hoping to earn enough military merit to secure an imperial decree granting them permission to wed. He didn't care about power or status. He was even willing to give up his position as heir to the marquis. All he wanted was for his Lanqing to live a happy life. And for the sake of protecting Lanqing, he could also hold on tightly to all the things he claimed not to care about. Chu Lanqing: “After I die, you can find someone else... No, you can't! You have to stay faithful to me and mourn me properly! If you ever cheat, I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you!” Gu Huaizhou: “I wouldn't dare. If you die, I'll die with you. If you live, I'll live with you.” Chu Lanqing: “What if I don't want you anymore?” Gu Huaizhou: “...Then I'll die for you to see!” Content Warnings: 1.
